stupidest things you have ever DONE under a session

andytheswede · 25th November 2006

I just did such a stupid thing that hurt so much ,that I just had to share it here knowing there must be other smucks like me out there .

Ok here we go,,,
I’ve just built this fairly professional pimped up vocal booth (whisper room style, if ya know what I mean), lots of acoustical foam etc etc.

So I’m sitting in there with a whole bunch of microphones that I want to try out with my new pre-amp and compressor (ADK ap-1 and ADK cla-1) that I just bought from Larry Villella at ADK.

I have this pimped tube mic in my lap (on my dick is a more correct geographic description), plugged into an old preamp that I’ve put together myself a year back and recently opened up to “fix” a disturbing brmmmmm kind of sound. It was bad soldering and I fixed it, so I thought!!!
All of a sudden the mic becomes electrified, where are talking 220voltsstike right in to my weiner, first I screamed like a little girlieman(sorry to much SNL), I mean we are talking serious barbeque here, and then after checking that my penis wasn’t actually on fire

, I laughed my arse of, tears in my eyes cause it hurt so much.

So come on now, stick ya chin out and dare to share

Ps
The compressor did a helluva job on that recorded scream, im definitely keeping this unit

You can get help for this sort of thing

p.s. I wouldn't advertise to your clients you like to lay naked in the vocal both with a mic on your pee pee. Some might not see the humour in that

hahaha you want to hear the scream?

Mike Tholen · 25th November 2006

Yes please post the SCREAM!!!

on a related note, my old partner was putting up a U47 and was shocked to hell and back before he just dropped the fiery thing to the tiled floor of the live room! It hit perfectly sqare with the floor a squished the top end of the grill into the upper ring.

The mic worked fine even though it looked like hell.

but yeah man I wanna hear the scream.

Pulling a cable (too hard - stressed) on my knees below a "multi-synthesizer" stand (3 legs - terrible balance) with 3 synthesizers on it. Ouch. It hurt, but I was okey. I broke one key on one of the synths, and I consider myself lucky... I wish I had a live mike there - I truely invented some new words...

The stupiest thing yet...... hmmmmm.
I thought I could record a professional sounding album on my first shot.
But didn't we all?

gracejames · 26th November 2006

i helped a friend record his keyboard tracks in mono in 24/44.1=stupid
Later had to redo the whole thing in stereo and in 24/48.

I accidentally unplugged my main power source on my system thinking I was unplugging something else right after tracking (and not saving

). A few good things came out of this. A UPS system and the retakes were better the second time around.
phew.
